NEW EARLY HYBRIDS 
The “good news” for sweet corn growers this year, is that early maturing hybrids are available. These new 
hybrids ripen earlier than Golden Cross, some as much as two weeks earlier. They have that wonderful hybrid vigor 
which enables them better to endure drought and resist root rot and other diseases. The early hybrids which we offer 
are highly resistant to Stewarts bacterial wilt disease, which caused such heavy losses in ’33, and which may occur 
again. They can be grown profitably in wilt infested sections. They are strikingly uniform in ear type and in ripen¬ 
ing. The ears are larger, mostly 12 rowed and decidedly attractive. They rank high in tenderness, sweetness and 
flavor, and, best of all, as shown by experiment station tests, they have out yielded by 25 to over 100% regular varie¬ 
ties that ripen as early. For verification of this statement, we refer you to the State Agricultural Experiment Sta¬ 
tions at Geneva, N. Y., Ithaca, N. Y., New Haven, Conn., Amherst, Mass., State College, Pa., Columbus, Ohio, Lafay¬ 
ette, Ind., New Brunswick, N. J., Urbana, Ill., East Lansing, Mich., University Farm, St. Paul, Minn., Ames, Iowa. 
EARLY MARKETS BEST 
Early market prices are usually highest and early varieties often pay best in spite of their usually smaller 
yields. But when one can get those higher prices for fast selling corn that yields 12,000 to 20,000 marketable ears 
per acre as these new early hybrids have yielded in experiment station tests, then there is a sure enough profit. Be¬ 
cause those hybrids seem to be more hardy and more vigorous, it may be reasonable to risk planting some of the 
earliest hybrid a week or so before it seems quite safe. If it is lost, the ground can be replanted for a later harvest 
without great expense. If it escapes damage, it will pay extra well. 
EXTEND YOUR SWEET CORN SEASON 
By planting several hybrids at one time and then following with successive plantings of Golden Cross, one can 
have a continuous supply of high quality, fine type corn beginning about 72 days from planting and continuing until 
frosts. With such a program, one can capture the best trade early and hold it right through the season. 
The same program on a smaller scale is ideal for the garden. One can feast on delicious, fresh, tender sweet 
corn week after week and dry or can the surplus for later use. Sweet corn is wholesome and economical as well as 
enjoyable. With these new hybrids, one can “show the neighbors how to garden.” 
We suggest the following:- 1st regular planting, as early as safe; Top Crossed Spanish Gold ripening in about 
72 to 74 days, Whipcross C 7. 2 or Top Crossed Whipple ripening in 78 to 80 days, and Golden Cross Bantam ripening 
in about 86 days; 2nd and successive plantings at 5 to 7 day intervals, as late as safe, Golden Cross Bantam. These 
will provide an almost continuous harvest of high yielding yellow sweet corn of the finest type and quality. It should 
be understood, of course, that the ripening dates will vary with locality and with rainfall and temperature variations. 
AVOID LOW PRICE MARKETS 
For markets that are loaded with cheap mid season corn, we suggest planting the whole corn acreage with Top 
Crossed Spanish Gold,.distributing the planting over a period as long as it will take to market the crop. 
If the late fail market is usually good, plan to supply it with Golden Cross planted in late June or early July, 
that is about 86 days ahead of the best market period. If moisture supply is good in July, it may be reasonably safe 
to plant Top Crossed Spanish Gold after a first crop of the same, or after peas or some other early crop. It would be 
ready for October marketing. This seems practicable for Long Island and other places where killing frosts seldom 
occur earlier than October 15th. 
USE RELIABLE SEED 
Quaker Hill Farm was one of the first in the country to produce commercially by controlled cross pollination, 
this new type of hybrid sweet corn seed. We have gained the experience, acquired the technique, trained the help and 
provided the equipment necessary for producing hybrid seed of reliable quality. In numerous tests conducted by dis¬ 
interested persons, hybrids from Quaker Hill Farm have usually equalled and frequently excelled hybrids from other 
sources in percentage of wilt resistance, uniformity and yield. 
If one is to pay the necessarily higher price for hybrid seed, it is important that one be assured of getting as 
nearly as possible 100% true hybrid seed. Reliability of the source is far more important with hybrid seed than with 
open pollinated seed. 
We have tested and followed closely the state test of numerous new hybrids. Our offerings and our recommen¬ 
dations are based on these tests and our knowledge of wilt disease. We believe we are offering the best and most pro¬ 
fitable that are available this season. See next page for detailed descriptions and prices. 
Yours for better sweet corn,
